Evil AI Cartoons (2022)

‘Evil AI Cartoons’ explores the societal impacts of artificial intelligence through the medium of single-panel cartoons. Inspired by the concise and thought-provoking nature of the single-panel cartoons found in the New Yorker magazine, this project combines visual storytelling with an exploration of the complex world of AI.

Each cartoon is designed to convey a particular aspect of AI and its potential effects on society. Alongside the cartoons, visitors will find accompanying blog posts that provide context and further insights into the topics being discussed.

The single-panel cartoons serve as an effective medium for communicating complex ideas in a concise and visually appealing manner. By presenting AI-related issues in this format, the project aims to make the subject more approachable and foster productive discussions about the technology's benefits and potential risks. The website encourages a deeper understanding of the technology and helps to alleviate anxiety surrounding its impact on society. Ultimately, this project strives to create a bridge between technology, ethics, and human experience, promoting a more informed and balanced perspective on the world of artificial intelligence.
